Attempted sex assault reported in northwest

Calgary police are investigating an attempted sexual assault in the city’s northwest from earlier this week.

On her way home Monday evening, a woman in the 5300 block of 53rd Avenue NW was approached by a male from behind and struck in the head several times, police say.

“She was scared and she fought for quite a while until he finally gave up and ran away,” said Det. Shawn Sykes.

The suspect is described as being 25 to 40 years old, with a medium build and low voice.
